    I am a great caregiver because I take the time to listen to the concerns, wants and needs of the clients and their families. I became a caregiver because I know a lot of people do not have what it takes to be compassionate toward others that are not their family or friends. I have been a caregiver for 8 years and I grow to love my clients and their families as if they were my own family.

    Semi retired RN looking to spend the winters in Florida, near Sarasota/ Venice area. I have a husband and we have raised 3 beautiful children. Became an empty nester so I have a 10 mth old puppy, Wilson. Getting very tired of the South Dakota winters! My parents also winter in Sarasota, Fl I am looking for a place to stay and care for a family's child or elderly person or couple. I do not have a RN license for Florida. If needed, then I would have to work part time. I have been a RN since 1986. I have had 20 plus years of Pediatric nursing and adult hospital and home health experience. I love people! Young and old. I'm very outgoing. I enjoy golf, swimming, shopping, tennis. I love my family and my puppy Wilson.
